Olivia Brent '21 Recruiting Profile

Reference from Dana Stearns Coach: 

To whom it may concern,

It is my privilege to write a recommendation on behalf of Olivia Brent for consideration for playing volleyball at the collegiate level. As a former collegiate volleyball player from Ohio State and current high school level coach there is no doubt in my mind that she would be an incredible asset to any program. I have worked with Olivia through private lessons and her attitude, effort, and desire are everything that someone would look for in a future player.  

There are many talented players out there, but not as many that have the drive and passion to work to make themselves better.  She treats her training and opportunity very seriously. She doesn’t have to put extra time into the gym, but she chooses to and has a passion for it. She never comes in dragging even when she is balancing her track season with club season and all of her school work on top of that.  

In terms of her potential for the collegiate level, I think she will be a great contributor as a libero/defensive specialist.  In the short time that I have worked with her, I saw a huge improvement in her speed, first step to the ball, and overall accuracy with her ball control in all facets.  In terms of character, she is positive, competitive, and mature beyond her years.  She steps out on the floor with purpose and focus.  I have enjoyed every opportunity to train Olivia and know that she will only continue to grow.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Sincerely,

Dana Stearns
